Peter T. Rühr, born in 1988, studied biology with a focus on the head morphology of primary wingless insects at the Zoological Research Museum Alexander Koenig and at the University of Bonn, where he received his master's degree in 2017. Since 2018 he has been working at the University of Cologne on his doctoral thesis about the evolution and the biomechanics of insect heads.
Activities
Peter T. Rühr, using his knowledge about applying computed tomography methods, was involved in several publications on different animal groups while he was still studying.
Focus
For his doctoral thesis, Peter T. Rühr has taken particular interest in how the shape of insect heads has changed over the course of their evolution, in the biomechanical effects that these shape changes have had and in why such a large variety of shapes has emerged.
Methods
In recent years, microcomputed tomography (μCT) has become a standard method in many medical, scientific and industrial fields. This non-invasive technique enables three-dimensional (…)
Large bacterial populations develop stronger resistance to antibiotics
An international team of scientists at Wageningen University (Netherlands) and the Institute for Biological Physics at the University of Cologne (Germany) have shown that small and large bacterial populations follow qualitatively different evolutionary paths: Larger populations develop stro ... more
Deadly combination: new direct trigger for cell death discovered
Scientists led by Professor Ana J. Garcia-Saez at the CECAD Cluster of Excellence for Aging Research at the University of Cologne have shown that apoptosis, the programmed cell death, involves a direct physical interplay between the two proteins BAX and DRP1. DRP1 can serve as a direct cell ... more
Scientists discover new regulators of the aging process
Scientists have discovered that the protein ubiquitin plays an important role in the regulation of the aging process. Ubiquitin was previously known to control numerous processes, such as signal transduction and metabolism. Prof. Dr. David Vilchez and his colleagues at the CECAD Cluster of ... more
How gold plasma can make hidden structures visible
In recent years, microcomputed tomography (μCT) has become a standard method in many medical, scientific and industrial fields. This non-invasive technique enables three-dimensional imaging of a wide variety of structures. However, a new combination of methods now makes it possible to visua ... more
